Sporty zimowe - Mediolan 2026

Merry Christmas to all those who are celebrating and Happy Holidays to those who are not! 

becomes rhe 77th member of World Curling

I am enjoying, courtesy of a local restaurant takeaway yesterday, some  form of grilled lamb chops which are truly excellent.  I passed up the opportunity to taste sheeps' brains though.    Perhaps next year.

Tomorrow. Today is a day-off. 

The best match today : Egypt vs RSA , both in the world cup ...they will smash each others 

Only just noticed this. Tramin is indeed a lovely little village.  Have been there a couple of times in the summer!

I don't think the Junior Cup has ever given IBU points. Unless I'm very mistaken, it's always only been World and IBU Cup (plus their respective main championships).   Edit: apparently nowadays the Junior Cup does indeed give IBU points as well. That should count then, I don't think it's specifically about events X and Y, but about the top-12 athletes from non-qualified countries on the IBU points list. It would be super weird if they base it on an available list, but then for the decisions, take off certain results.

Ugh, saying bye to your partner on some inhumanely early time on Christmas morning, meh. But oh well, races have to be done and one prerequisite in order to do cross-country skiing races is, you know, snow, so not much of a choice   Hoping to have a "I arrived safely" message right around the time my parents and I start our Christmas dinner, that would ease everyone's mind   Merry Christmas to everyone and as always, enjoy the undoubtedly exaggerated amounts of food and stuff
